Lyrics and translation Countdown Nashville - 40 Hour Week (For a Livin')




40 Hour Week (For a Livin')
Semaine de 40 heures (pour gagner sa vie)
There are people in this country
Il y a des gens dans ce pays
Who work hard every day
Qui travaillent dur chaque jour
Not for fame or fortune do they strive
Ils ne recherchent ni la gloire ni la fortune
But the fruits of their labor
Mais le fruit de leur labeur
Are worth more than their pay
Vaut plus que leur salaire
And it′s time a few of them were recognized.
Et il est temps que certains d'entre eux soient reconnus.
Hello Detroit auto workers,
Bonjour aux ouvriers de l'automobile de Detroit,
Let me thank you for your time
Permettez-moi de vous remercier pour votre temps
You work a forty hour week for a livin',
Vous travaillez une semaine de 40 heures pour gagner votre vie,
Just to send it on down the line
Juste pour la faire passer.
Hello Pittsburgh steel mill workers,
Bonjour aux ouvriers de l'aciérie de Pittsburgh,
Let me thank you for your time
Permettez-moi de vous remercier pour votre temps
You work a forty hour week for a livin′,
Vous travaillez une semaine de 40 heures pour gagner votre vie,
Just to send it on down the line.
Juste pour la faire passer.
This is for the one who swings the hammer,
Ceci est pour celui qui balance le marteau,
Driving home the nail
Enfonçant le clou
Or the one behind the counter,
Ou celui qui est derrière le comptoir,
Ringing up the sale
Sonnant la caisse
Or the one who fights the fires,
Ou celui qui combat les incendies,
The one who brings the mail
Celui qui apporte le courrier
For everyone who works behind the scenes.
Pour tous ceux qui travaillent dans les coulisses.
You can see them every morning
Tu peux les voir chaque matin
In the factories and the fields
Dans les usines et les champs
In the city streets and the quiet country towns
Dans les rues de la ville et les villages paisibles
Working together like spokes inside a wheel
Travaillant ensemble comme des rayons dans une roue
They keep this country turning around.
Ils font tourner ce pays.
Hello Kansas wheat field farmer,
Bonjour à l'agriculteur du champ de blé du Kansas,
Let me thank you for your time
Permettez-moi de vous remercier pour votre temps
You work a forty hour week for a livin',
Vous travaillez une semaine de 40 heures pour gagner votre vie,
Just to send it on down the line
Juste pour la faire passer.
Hello West Virginia coal miner,
Bonjour au mineur de charbon de Virginie-Occidentale,
Let me thank you for your time
Permettez-moi de vous remercier pour votre temps
You work a forty hour week for a livin',
Vous travaillez une semaine de 40 heures pour gagner votre vie,
Just to send it on down the line.
Juste pour la faire passer.
This is for the one who drives the big rig,
Ceci est pour celui qui conduit le gros camion,
Up and down the road
Sur la route
Or the one out in the warehouse,
Ou celui qui est dans l'entrepôt,
Bringing in the load
Amenant la cargaison
Or the waitress, the mechanic,
Ou la serveuse, le mécanicien,
The policeman on patrol
Le policier en patrouille
For everyone who works behind the scenes.
Pour tous ceux qui travaillent dans les coulisses.
With a spirit you can′t replace with no machine
Avec un esprit que tu ne peux pas remplacer par une machine
Hello America, let me thank you for your time...
Bonjour Amérique, permettez-moi de vous remercier pour votre temps...
